Raglan's Soviet–Afghan War

[Lord Raglan]

The HIND quickly neutralised the Afghan armour.

[Lord Raglan]

Despite the arrival and the Soviet attack helicopter and it’s devastating firepower, the Afghans were inflicting heavy losses on the motor rifle platoon, almost completely destroying all of their armoured vehicles and taking a heavy toil on the motorised infantry sections.

[Lord Raglan]

The Afghan Warlord knew it was essential to destroy or drive off the HIND, but despite pouring AA machine-gun fire and also firing the last remaining Sam missile at the Soviet air asset, the Afghan fire was unfortunately inaccurate and the HIND was free to act with impunity.

[Lord Raglan]

The HIND was saved by deploying its flare systems.

[Lord Raglan]

Despite a last ditch effort by a fanatical Mujahideen cell, the HIND was the dominating force. The Afghan politician and the Soviet downed helicopter crew, used the opportunity to mount up in the BRDM and evacuated the battlefield under the superior air cover.

A real nail-biter that was.  Without that Hind, the Soviets had their work cut out for them, that's for sure!

[Lord Raglan]

 I do enjoy this size of battle, they’re always very close calls and great fun to play

[Tom Dulski]

You should seriously consider a Raglan's terrain thread. Would love to see just your scenic stuff.

[Rick F]

Excellent terrain, figures and game. Looking forward to more.

[Lord Raglan]

Cheers boys 👍🏻
